I make drawings and prints usually from personal and found photographs. I draw new versions of the original images by selecting, editing, simplifying, inventing imagery and mixing up visual languages. My edited drawn versions of these images are as much an exploration of the qualities of drawing and printmaking as they are construction of an experience of time and place.I have been etching traditionally with acid over the last ten years for the variety of unique marks and qualities that it has to offer. Photo etching is a process with which I can easily integrate the digital and hand-made mark, in response to the digitally captured photo of outdoor life.Im interested in the visual remembering of experiences that on reflection appear to have been very beautiful, sensational and poetic and how with each reconstruction these moments become more invented and embellished.
